Dried tofu is a home-cooked dish, but it does not taste good when fried or stewed directly after buying it. It is dry and astringent. A little processing will improve its taste.

Step 1: Take a pound of dry tofu as an example. First cut it into strips or pieces. Be careful not to cut the strips or pieces too small to avoid breaking in subsequent steps.

Step 2: Add water to the pot, enough water to completely submerge the dry tofu, and then bring to a boil.

Step 3: Put the cut dry tofu into the pot and add a spoonful of baking soda. How big is the spoon?

Usually the size of a small spoon for cooking and seasoning is the same. If you are not sure, you can put half a spoon first.

? Step 4: After adding baking soda, stir the dry tofu with chopsticks so that the baking soda and dry tofu are in even contact. Taste it every minute. If it is soft and hard, take it out and put it in an empty basin.

If the dry tofu is still hard after cooking for about 4 or 5 minutes, it means that there is not enough baking soda. Add a little more and stir repeatedly until the softness and hardness are satisfactory.

There are two key points that need to be explained here: First, use boiling water to blanch dry tofu. The key is to add baking soda, otherwise it is meaningless. What should be the amount of baking soda?

Novices may feel that they are not sure, so I tell you that it doesn't matter. You can put a little less first and taste it after 4 or 5 minutes. If it is still very hard, add a little more and taste it again until the softness and hardness are suitable.

Second, don’t rely on digital standards and ignore the taste standards. This is the most critical point. What is the digital standard, that is, how many grams of dry tofu, how many grams of baking soda, how many grams of water, and how many minutes of heating?

Given a digital standard, these things are only a reference. The key is to keep tasting and take taste satisfaction as the final standard. If you just copy the data, it will be difficult to achieve the best results.

No matter how you make the dried tofu processed in this way, it will be delicious. Friends who like delicious food, you can try it.
